I'm going to try to not sound generic here... ironically that
statement itself is probably pretty generic - as I'm sure tons of
people write it. Although I think commenting on the irony is
probably pretty original - so, ironically, the statement actually
is probably 'not generic'. Whew... I hope the rest of this doesn't
take as much effort to write.

Let's see... about me... I'm on a health kick as of recent -
working very hard on my one pack. As of now I pretty much off-set
every work out with a piece of chocolate cake but I'm going on the
philosophy that its the effort and thought that counts - although
my mirror begs to differ. I figured maybe snowboarding would get me
more active so I took it up last year. I face-planted a couple of
times and it was not exactly the fast track to getting in shape
that I was hoping for.... that being said, it did give me one
kick-ass benefit - I can now claim, without lying completely, to be
have that awesome quality that you, being an online
dater,inevitably love - I am officially 'outdoorsy'.

Off-setting that positive is my very sedentary love of watching all
sports, especially my unwavering support for those perpetual losers
- the Blue Jays. You might think it a negative that I spend hours
cheering on millionaire athletes on a perpetually losing team as
they try to become richer in the misguided belief that I have some
connection to them because I am wearing the same bird on my hat as
they are on their jersey - but I think it speaks to some positives
in me - like the the fact that I am able to be devoted, or that,
like the Jays opponents, you will have plenty of warning if I try
to steal second.

I'm slightly shorter than your average Joe - but as my name
actually is Joe, that statement doesn't really make much sense.
Maybe its better to look at it like this.... all 'vertically
challenged" dudes have their gimmick. Most are pathetic attempts to
score those extra inches such as wearing thick soled shoes, making
sure they get to the first date early so that they ensure that they
are already sitting when you arrive or working-out to add the extra
pectoral inch in the hope that the horizontal will compensate for
the vertical. I, however, am proud to say that all 5'6 of me will
proudly stand when I meet you as my method is subtle and effective
a kick-ass three inch Astro-Boy haircut that not only adds more
than that key inch needed to take me to that promised height of 5"7
that you inevitably require but also sends the subliminal message
to you that I can fly you around with my rocket boots on moonlit
nights in my arms... my plan being that by the time you set eyes on
my very non-rocketish 1983 honda civic a couple of hours later I
have already had a chance to win you over with my personality (or
if that fails, my 'outsdoorsy' stories).

In short, I am short, I like the blue jays and I may or may not
have rockets on my feet. So date me.
